11 Man Midget Division Champions: Las Vegas 702 49ers.

Under the care of top-notch coaches Spencer Campbell and JR Ladislao, the 49ers proved to be the U-10 Division team to beat not only in Nevada, but also in the country!. The 49ers had a tremendous Spring season which saw the 49ers go on an impressive run that culminated in a Nevada State Championship victory over the Bishop Gorman Jr. Gators. Led by MVP Spencer "Maverick" Campbell's strong arm and the shifty moves of Dominick Payne, they earned a hard fought Nevada State Title. In the National Tournament, they also got huge contributions all over the field from Zyrus Fiaseau and Tia Savea, this team was near unstoppable giving up just 1 score in the entire tournament!

11 Man Minor Division Champions: Las Vegas Ducks.

The Las Vegas Ducks completed a perfected sweep of the competition proving to be one of the best Minor Division teams in NYS history! Led by MVP Greg Oliver, the Ducks not only went undefeated in the Fall 2013 season, but also swept through the Spring 2014 Season without a single loss on their ledger. This big and powerful team had a number of stars shine including Jordan Butler, Tayjon Bullock, and Anthony Horna alongside their MVP Oliver rolled through a huge Tournament. The Ducks went a perfect 3-0 in the tournament dominating the competition including a 42-0 championship game win over a very strong Gladiators squad. This team was certainly something special from start to finish!

The Gators Middle School Division squad proved to be the team to beat in the Spring of 2014 finishing a perfect 10-0 to claim the Nevada state title. Behind the leadership of quarterback Jimmy Telles and running backs Elijah Bogensperger and Taariq Flowers this team proved to be not only quick, but powerful as well. The Gators entered the National Championship Tournament in San Diego as one of the favorites, and played like it down in San Diego. After an amazing close overtime win over the San Diego Beast Mode, the Gators used a huge 4th quarter comeback to take down the Glendale Rhino's for a National Championship game victory!
